Corsica

5/16/2014

We had fun taking the "hop on hop off" bus in Barcelona on a beautiful sunny day admiring the stunning architecture. Curves & roofs designed like dragon scales, so impressive. It is such a clean city even the docks were pristine. We went to see La Sagrada Familia Basilica designed by Antoni Gaudi. It has been under construction since 1882 and features breathtaking spires and awe-inspiring stained glass windows. We thought we were inside Sauron's Tower!

Corsica, the birthplace of Napolean is a beautiful little island and we wanted to take the bus to the beach. After waiting an hour for the no. 5, however, we gave up thinking it must be a practical joke that the locals play on the tourists "the no. 5 is not, as they say, regular"! So instead we made up for it by having mussels in a restaurant by the pier.

Hello Carol. I hope I am not intruding in your space but I was dismayed and saddened when Keith had told me of your unjust circumstan​ces. I have been your brother's friend for quite a while and I feel I know you familiarly with the tales of your adventures from Keith and Tania over the years. From Keith's pretty little sister smiling like a cherub to a social worker doing the tasks of angels, your gentle spirit and courageous strength always stood out like a flame in the darkness. I just wanted you to know that I was always and forever will be a member of your fan club. Great website. Keep runnin' down a dream!

When frustrated, mussels are a brilliant solution (with a leetle vino too of course); lessons learned from all-we-could-eat at Crocodile's in Montreal - good times! (And yes, this is the perfect segue to: yay Habs!!) Hugs and love from us in Lisbon to you all xxoo
